FINALLY the online LBSes are getting nice with their end of season prices.
Great time to be buying gear.

yeah, I'm feeling it!! looking good so far!!

sorry to keep posting non caad questions... you have a c2 post in picture, how did you torque it for the carbon rails? the c2 clamp is aluminum right? at least it is for me, but the post itself is carbon... i want to make sure the rail fits the clamp!

I'm ordering a Fizik Cyrano Carbon Post next week. I mounted the saddle and tightened it by "feel".
So far, it's been okay, but I won't be 100% secure until I have Fizik's post on my bike.
If you don't have a torque wrench to mount the saddle, I'd suggest getting one if you plan on doing a lot of work on your bike yourself.
Otherwise, take it to your LBS and have them mount it for you and you'll have total peace of mind.
My LBS would charge $10. for something like that.

Where in NY are you?

hey, im in queens, the bike shop can torque it for me i believe with no charge because i purchased it from them. how about u? maybe we should meet up one day to go for a CASUAL ride. im not hardcore like some of the members here

Check your PM...

OK, CAAD 10 not here yet...but this one did arrive today! 14.2lbs as you see it....

jealous

Just weighed my Caad10 came in at 14.09 but still needs cable and housing installed. Also has a pretty heavy saddle from my track bike thats going to get switched with a fizik.

cool, details on bike build? pictures?

Its mainly just a red/force mix. All the parts were chosen with weight in mind, but I didnt want to give up durability. I have some crazy light stuff like zipp sl handlebars, planet x brakes and skewers. I think I am going to get a set of tubulars, and a hollowgram sl crank in the future to hopefully drop it down to the 13s. The wheels I have right now are pretty heavy so it should make a pretty big difference. Ill take pics when I get it back from the shop.

On an unrelated topic since my CAAD10 is still not here...the SuperSix I just got was 14.2 out of the box, built with no pedals. Very happy with the bike, if the CAAD10 is half that bike, going to be very good...

Ken

that is really light...what size is it.

58cm

Got this in the mail the other day.



Any suggestions?

wow...are you sure your scale is right?

I have a 54 and with my 404 tubbies it's still just under 15. I have full red with a light saddle. Just sounds extremely light to me for a 58.

Looks defective. Better send it to me for proper disposal. What size is it, 54 or 56?

I have a lot of super light weight parts like planet x brakes and zipp sl bars, everything else is pretty light too. It blew my bike shops minds when they saw it all together.

your brakes are 64 grams less and your bars are 80 grams less than mine...

that's 1/3 of a pound less...

I more than make that up with frame size and wheel weight, just saying...that's extremely light for a 58cm CAAD 10...

not hating on ya at all, I would like to know what you used.

I dont know what to tell you besides it all adds up. I dont know if you are using a red cassette because that saves a lot of weight. I am using super light skewers which took off nearly 100g from my stock I think. My seat post and stem are pretty light.

Yeah, do something like this:


(mine)

or this, similar to mine:

Do you have a chain and pedals on it?

i am running a red cassette, Look Keo carbon ti blade pedals and a light seat post as well.

either way, congrats, wish i could get mine that low. Post some pics when you get it all together!

Ya no chain and pedals on it yet. Thats why I didnt think it was that light. Yours will still prob be slightly lighter when its all put together.

56. Absolutely beautiful.

SkyeC: the second picture is almost exactly what I'm probably doing. Was thinking Red all the way around.

what cages are those? I want to find some in black/white to match the color scheme of my 9-4.
